Blogger doesn't make sense in other countries!!!

So, I thought it would be nice for all those who read this (and I'm not sure if any of you do), to give you a wee update concerning our whereabouts. We have officially left North America! We said our final goodbyes last night (was that last night? I have no concept of time) and boarded the plane to Taipei, Taiwan. 13 hours of blissful sitting brought us that much closer to our destination, and has left us tired, hungry and smelling of travel. If any of you wonder what that may smell like, just imagine wrapping yourself in plastic for a few days, and there you have it!

It's pretty crazy to think of where this year taken us...we are actually going to Thailand!!! We are really moving there!! In about 4 hours we will be enveloped in a warm, humid hug and shall be filling our bellies with food that has been calling me for years. As difficult as it has been to say goodbye and to bring an end to the life I've known in Canada, I feel incredibly blessed to have seen God work all these details out and to have finally brought me to a place where I'm going where my heart has longed to be. He's truly amazing and it is now, in this place, as my emotions have begun to settle, where I can feel excited and marvel at God's hand in my life. What an adventure!!!

I will update again once I have arrived at "home". The tastes, sights, and sounds of Thailand will be filling my senses shortly....
